I would like to know if anyone has installed, used it or demoed it and there thoughts on its overall capabilities.

Also on this subject matter. Its my understanding that this unit has an additional 10 gigs of hard drive space for your own Music however it will not allow you to download onto its Drive any MP3 you have ripped yourself. Only original discs. Anyone know more about this?

Well after a little research my understanding is this unit is about to ship, so my apologies for this post, however I would be curious if anyone has demoed this unit with Pioneer and there thoughts.

PS: On an unrelated question, Why is it I cannot edit my posts?

Yes, it's called DRM (digital rights management) and is because it is technically illegal to make more than one copy of any purchased CD or to make multiple copies of MP3s. It was mandated by the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and is only one of many new requirements that are now beginning to show up in hardware capable of making a digital copy of media. Just wait until next year when MP3 players can be told how long they can keep a digital copy and things start to auto-erase off people's hard drives and memory sticks...
